I have a student who's moving to that area soon and I'd love to get some feedback about the training in that area. I see Garry Tonon's school is nearby, but is he there coaching often? I suspect not but I'd rather not assume.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
Looking for honest feedback.
Is there something that your gym does or offers that you really love? What sets it apart from others? Do they give you free shit on your birthday? Is there a karaoke machine for Friday night classes? etc. etc. etc.
I've just been asked to take on the Event Coordinator role in my chapter. The chapter is growing at an incredible rate and I want to do a good job with this to encourage folks to connect outside of the meetings.
What types of activities or events has your chapter done that the members have enjoyed?
Even though it's mostly covers, I think self titled is incredible and shows the youthful energy and charisma that got him noticed. It's one of my favorite albums and it's great, front to back.
After 11+ years of training, I was promoted to black belt yesterday at Monadnock BJJ in NH.
I began training in 2013 under then-owner Daniel Caulfield, when the gym was Flow BJJ. If you've ever read The Art of Learning by Josh Waitzkin, he mentions Dan as one of his main training partners when he was competing in Tai Chi Push Hands. Dan's style was heavily influenced by his time training with Marcelo Garcia, utilizing x-guard to great effect. He also had incredible balance which made him difficult to deal with.
He sold the gym about 7 years ago to my current instruct
They don’t focus on songwriting. A good song should come first. Like Tom Petty said, “don’t bore us, get to the chorus.” If more new jam bands lived by this and then built their jams on that, we’d have better jam bands.
I just saw Dr. Dog last weekend. They’re not a jam band, but they write amazing songs and could easily jam them out and blow our minds….

Let me hear about them!
I'm a novice when it comes to electric guitars. I am looking to purchase a Telecaster and have seen a huge range in price. Can someone explain why one costs so much more than the other, and if that difference in price is really justifiable? I really like the red one, and at my skill level it doesn't make sense to drop $1400 on a guitar, but I'm just curious. I've linked the two below.

Title says it all. Haven’t heard about him in a while. Where’s he been?
